Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.

2 But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.

3 Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.

4 For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.

5 As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.

6 Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
Ẹ padà sọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí ẹ ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí gidigidi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli.
7 For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.

8 And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
“Asiria yóò ṣubú lọ́wọ́ idà kan tí kò ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn wá; idà tí kì í ṣe ti ẹ̀dá alààyè ni yóò pa wọ́n. Wọn yóò sì sá níwájú idà náà àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọn ni a ó fún ní iṣẹ́ ipá ṣe.
9 And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Àpáta rẹ yóò kọjá lọ fún ẹ̀rù; àwọn olórí rẹ yóò bẹ̀rù asia náà,” ni Olúwa wí, ẹni tí iná rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní Sioni, ẹni tí ìléru rẹ̀ wà ní Jerusalẹmu.
